Remarkable moment ‘sassy sparkler’ sea worm with rainbow-like bristles is discovered by underwater robot
AN ALIEN-LIKE deep sea predator has been discovered at the bottom of a 26,460ft trench - where few creatures are able to survive, let alone thrive.

Dr Weston, a co-lead author of the recently published study, added: "Most excitingly, the DNA and morphology data pointed to this species being a new genus too, emphasising the Atacama Trench as an endemic hotspot."
